Event Information
We know that for some children and young people, learning at home has provided positive benefits and experiences for them and their learning during the closure of early learning and childcare centres and schools. However, for many children and young people, their experiences have been less positive and in some cases there have been significant concerns for their wellbeing. Some children and young people may also have developed needs not apparent prior to lockdown, which may require new responses and approaches.
This webinar will focus on the strategies schools are using to ensure that those learners are being offered specific and targeted support and access to learning as school reopen.
Presenters will share strategies used to mitigate against the impact of the crisis on the health, wellbeing and learning of disadvantaged children and young people.
